Researching the early settlers of the Arkansas is my hobby and in this connection
Mrs. Forsyth has been most kind and generous to share with me both information and
expertise. The earliest records I have located of records of Catholic priests'
acts of baptism, etc. at Arkansas Post are four acts in 1744 photostats of published
text per the enclosed.
I have no doubt that these are members of the same Landrony family of your interest.
My documentation on the Landrony family is only sketchy. I feel that "Landrony,
an invalid, with wife, 1 boy and 2 girls" enumerated in DeClouet census of Ark.
Post inhabitants 2 Dec 1768 (Papeles de Cuba, Legajo 107:58) is same as the Joseph
Landrony [* see last paragraph] listed in the 1744 baptisms as "habitant of post". The latest reference of him at Post (that I have located) is in Ibid. p. 358 in a reference
to him as interpreter.

Dear Mrs. Core,
I was given your name by Mrs. Alice Forsyth of New Orleans.
She thought that you might be of help to me in obtaining infor-
mation about early Arkansas Post families.
I am trying to determine the parentage of a Marie Louise
Landrony (also known as Marie Louise Catherine and as Catherine)
who was a native of Arkansas. She married Jean baptist Baca
(also known as Manuel Baca and Baptist Manuel) probably about
1776 in New Orleans, based upon the Baptisms of their children.
They had four children all born between 1777 and 1785 in New
Orleans.
I have not found either the Baca/Landrony marriage record
or the death record of Marie Louise. I have no estimate of her
age, but Baca was born in Genoa in 1739. Based upon the Baptism
records of the children, there is a connection between Marie
Louise Landrony and a Catherine Landrony married to Pedro
Lambert of Arkansas Post. Some of the Lambert children were
either Baptism sponsors or marriage wittnesses for the Baca
children. The book, Louisiana Marriages: I, by Mrs. Forsyth
shows the marriage of one of the Baca children (page 127-17 Feb
1800) where a Constanza Lambert is a wittness.
Mrs. Forsyth also mentioned that you are aware of a book
published years age[o] containing the church records of the early
Arkansas Post. Could you please send me any information you
may have on how I might find a copy?
I would appreciate any help you can provide me on the
Landrony family. I will be pleased to share with you anything
that I have found on the family in the New Orleans area.
Thank you for your time and help.
Sincerely [Handwritten signature Dwayne Montz]

spelled) who lives on plantation about 8 leagues from city on other side upper river"....

Catarina Landrony, wife of Juan Manuel Baptiste, Maria Louisa Handry, her mother.
I feel this is part of your story and you may want to 'dig' at it. I would appreciate
your sharing should it lead you to fuller information.
Hope some of this helps Dorothy J. Core.
